She can’t. According to the rules, unless she places her name in the pot, none of her supporters can petition for her.

She has not released her delegates yet. Until she does she can still have her name placed in nomination. Why do you think the DNC has been trying to think of a way to change the rules to block her from being nominated?

Also, always remember that just because a super delegate has said they will vote for one candidate or another they are not bound to that, the only way you are going to know who they are going to vote for is when they actually vote. And from what I have been hearing alot of those super delegates have soured on Obama. They are beginning to fear that Obama in combination with the actions of Pelosi, Reid and Dean are going to drag the rest of the ticket down in flames. You must always remember that many of those super delegates are elected officials-senators, congresscritters, governors and such and for them power trumps ideology.

I'm not sure of the deadline to do so. If I were the Clintons I would wait until the last possible moment, then do it claiming it is for the good of the children, pointing out how Obama has been frozen at 46% in the weeks leading up to the convention and cannot possibly win.
